## Description

**Media Lume** lets you generate AI images without ever leaving WordPress. Type 
a prompt, choose an aspect ratio, and the result lands straight in your Media Library—
ready to insert into any post or page.

#### Key features

 * **Free by default** — uses Pollinations.ai with no API key or account required
   for Flux models
 * **More models with a free account** — link your free Pollinations account to 
   unlock GPT Image 2, Ideogram, Recraft, and more
 * **Bring your own key** — connect a fal.ai account to use your own API credits
   at your own rate
 * **Saves to Media Library** — every generated image is automatically added to 
   your WordPress media library with proper alt text
 * **Multiple aspect ratios** — Square HD (1024×1024), Landscape 4:3, Portrait 4:
   3, and Landscape 16:9
 * **Guided setup wizard** — a step-by-step onboarding flow gets you generating 
   images in under a minute
 * **No subscription** — generate for free with Pollinations.ai, or pay only what
   you use with fal.ai

#### Available AI models

Without any account (free, limited):

 * **Flux** and **Flux Pro** — fast, high-quality text-to-image generation via Pollinations.
   ai

With a free Pollinations.ai account linked (all models unlocked):

 * **GPT Image 2** — OpenAI-powered image generation
 * **Ideogram v3** — excellent for text rendered inside images
 * **Recraft v4.1** — photorealistic and illustration styles
 * **Nano Banana 2** — fast creative generation

With fal.ai (your own API key):

 * Access every model available on fal.ai at your account’s own pricing — including
   Flux Schnell, Flux 2 Pro, GPT Image 2, Ideogram v3, Recraft, and more

#### Who can use this plugin?

 * Any user with the **upload_files** capability (Author, Editor, Administrator)
   can generate images
 * Only **Administrators** can access plugin settings and configure providers

#### Privacy

This plugin sends your prompt and selected settings to an external API provider 
when you click Generate. It does not collect analytics, does not track your usage,
and does not contact any external server on page load or on plugin activation. No
data is transmitted unless you actively initiate image generation.

#### External services

This plugin relies on the following third-party APIs to generate images. You must
review their terms before use.

**Pollinations.ai** — used as the default image provider.
 When you generate an 
image using Pollinations.ai, your prompt and generation settings (model, image size)
are sent to Pollinations servers.

 * Website: https://pollinations.ai
 * Terms of Service: https://pollinations.ai/terms
 * Privacy Policy: https://pollinations.ai/privacy

**fal.ai** — optional, used only when you configure a fal.ai API key in Settings.

When you generate an image using fal.ai, your prompt and generation settings are
sent to fal.ai servers using your API key.

 * Website: https://fal.ai
 * Terms of Service: https://fal.ai/terms
 * Privacy Policy: https://fal.ai/privacy

No data is sent to either service unless you actively click “Generate.” API keys
are stored in your WordPress database and are transmitted directly to the respective
provider over HTTPS. They are never shared with any other party.

#### Source Code

This plugin is open source. Full source code including all build tools and uncompiled
JavaScript is available at:

## FAQ

### Is this plugin really free?

Yes. The default image provider (Pollinations.ai) is completely free and requires
no account or API key to start generating images. You get access to Flux models 
immediately. Linking a free Pollinations.ai account (takes about 30 seconds) unlocks
all remaining models. fal.ai is an optional paid provider if you prefer to use your
own account.

### Do I need to create an account anywhere?

No account is required to start. You can generate images with Pollinations.ai and
the Flux model without signing up for anything. If you want access to all AI models,
linking a free Pollinations.ai account is recommended. fal.ai requires a paid account
with billing credits.

### Where are generated images stored?

Generated images are downloaded from the AI provider and saved directly to your 
WordPress Media Library. They are stored on your own server just like any other 
uploaded image.

### Who can generate images?

Any logged-in WordPress user with the `upload_files` capability. This typically 
includes Authors, Editors, and Administrators. Subscribers and Contributors cannot
generate images.

### Who can change plugin settings?

Only users with the `manage_options` capability, which is Administrators by default.

### Is my fal.ai API key stored securely?

Your API key is stored in the WordPress database using `update_option()`, the same
mechanism WordPress uses for all plugin settings. It is transmitted only to fal.
ai over HTTPS when you generate an image, and never sent to any other party.

### Can visitors or logged-out users generate images?

No. Image generation requires a logged-in user with appropriate capabilities. The
REST API endpoint is protected by a permission check and is not accessible publicly.

### Does this plugin affect my site’s front end?

No. Media Lume is an admin-only plugin. It does not load any scripts or styles on
the public-facing side of your site.

### What image sizes are supported?

 * Square HD — 1024 × 1024 px
 * Landscape 4:3 — 1024 × 768 px
 * Portrait 4:3 — 768 × 1024 px
 * Landscape 16:9 — 1280 × 720 px

### Does uninstalling the plugin delete my generated images?

No. Images that have already been saved to your Media Library remain there after
uninstalling. Only the plugin’s settings and configuration data are removed.
